PUTIN endorses TRUMP: "He’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.”



Putin Praises Trump as ‘Brilliant and Talented’

Russian President Vladimir Putin had kind words for his “stablemate” Donald Trump during a press conference, The Hill reports.

Said Putin: “He’s a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt. It’s not our job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the presidential race.”
